16. An additional bank of four tennis courts are proposed in the <br /> Eugene Parks and Recreation Plan for construction on School <br /> District 4 -J property, and are shown immediately south of the <br /> existing four courts. Like the existing courts, they will be <br /> lighted to allow for night play until about 10:30 p.m. Parking <br /> associated with this addition would utilize the parking area <br /> across the street by the ball field, or the one street (curbside) <br /> parking. <br /> 17. Amazon Pool -- rebuilt as a year -round aquatic center when <br /> deteriorating conditions demand major renovation. As an aquatic <br /> center, it might expand beyond the present fenced area, but not <br /> so much as to impact other above grade park improvements or <br /> activity spaces. <br /> 18. Connection of 30th Avenue sidewalk from Ferry Street to <br /> Amazon Bike Path - -Not on recent plans, this was shown in earlier <br /> park development plans, and is needed for both bikes and <br /> pedestrians. Sight distance and grade considerations suggest <br /> that a small piece of adjacent property may need to be acquired <br /> to allow for a properly designed solution. <br /> The July draft plan has four other graphic symbols describing the <br /> following: <br /> A double square represents lights along the west half of the <br /> present jogging trail that would be funded by donations and <br /> volunteer efforts in the near future. Fixtures and poles would <br /> be identical to that used outside the Hilyard Center, 2580 <br /> Hilyard Street. Lighting the "street side" of the trail was seen <br /> as an acceptable compromise, leaving the creek side of the trail <br /> unlit so as to not adversely impact nocturnal animal life. <br /> Further, lights would be on a photocell with timer override so <br /> that lights would remain off between 9:30 p.m. and 6:00 a.m. To <br /> reduce the impact of the light on the natural areas, the lenses <br /> facing the woods would be silvered. Lights would be spaced at 3 <br /> per 100 meters to serve as distance markers for runners. <br /> A single square is shown that represents lighting along other <br /> paths in the park. This would be the same fixture, but installed <br /> as part of the transportation system, and not be installed until <br /> other funding is obtained. As a part of the transportation <br /> system, it would operate all night. Respective of the nocturnal <br /> animal life along the creek and woods, the lenses facing in those <br /> directions would also be silvered to reduce lighting those area. <br /> Treed areas highlighted with diagonal hatching are targeted areas <br /> for expanding the ash forest. <br /> Numerous arrows are shown where significant view sheds exist and <br /> should be preserved by not planting trees or erecting structures. <br /> Included are views to Spencer Butte, Skinner Butte, the <br /> 7 <br />
